Overse will be an open source future fiction wiki-style database of tech and
lore. This Opensource Universe will be a free context in which authors can
create hard science fiction. One of the main features will be the database of
future tech. The goal is to, as much as reasonably possible, predict the future
of technology and list it with timelines and as much detail as possible.
Considerations for cost/demand/style/etc. will be included to attempt to
predict the look of it. 3D models will be created for each tech. At first, I,
the creator of this site, will have final say over everything. But as it grows
and I can't handle it, I plan to implement a peer-based wiki-type process for
iteratively improving all items contained herein. There will be multiple
branches. The trunk and main branch, "branch zero", will be based upon the
hardest fictional tech. This branch won't have junk like teleportation, space
warping, and other stuff that isn't possible without "discovering" some
"hyper-space" thing that current science can't predict. Nano-tech will be a
major theme though. Then there will be other branches, wherever there is a
contentious decision to be made about tech items like including space warping,
as yet undiscovered forces, etc. The Story side of the site will have lore
which every author can use as a backdrop. Additions and modifications to the
Lore will be carefully added and consensus will be at least attempted. Where
there are major splits in opinion, branches will be created. Branches in Lore
will have to follow those of Tech as well.
